Soulection recently collaborated with Team Supreme (https://soundcloud.com/beatteamsupreme) for their weekly beat cyphers and put out one of the best volumes to date. Soulection Co-founder Joe Kay chose the sample 'Add the Bassline' from the very talented vocalist/producer Jordan Rakei who hopefully puts out a release with Soulection in the coming months. One of our heavy hitters Evil Needle thankfully participated in the beat cypher and created this amazing remix that ended up being so good that he had to extend it from 1 minute to a complete track. We couldn't help but share this track with you and give you an idea of what's to come.

SAMUEL TRUTH - CASPIAN (SOOPACRZY REMIX)

Our first Emcee signing comes in the form of yung George 'SoopaCrzy' who caught our attention a few weeks back with his unique flow and diction. It was even more humbling for us when we found out that he has been a follower of DTW for a while now and the rest is history. He has been laying down his interpretations for several of our artists like Koetry and Samuel Truth, and his take on Sam's classic 'Caspian' clearly exhibits his skills and raw talent. 'Caspian' was previously featured on our Free Download Series, and is supported heavily by tastemakers worldwide. Hence, this Soopacrzy version serves as an equally competent alternative to the original. Watch out for some forthcoming material from Soopacrzy on DTW in the next few months or so.

Lyrics : 

Pisces with the psyche,

Or the mindset of jive brotha, I'm where the Mic be,
I saw my future coming, now I wonder where your sight be
All I know is I'm flowing and I'm coming at you light speed
Might be another rapper or an emcee that never makes it
But I'll continue til my mind becomes vacant
My lines accentuated, throwing em right in ya face

Another shining star, tryna blast off into space

friends say I got the skills, but box me In 
But let me out, I'm too versatile to be rapping bland
My old man said I'm too bright to be this dark

Now I Question if he knew I had potential then?
It's for the love of the game, but it's a hard race
Chasing every vision that I see with a car's pace
Dealing with heartaches, and 808 & heartbreaks
They steal away like larceny, but I play rough like scarface

*scarface cutscene*



Im so relieved cause I relinquished all of my doubts

Now would it be different if I spoke from dragons mouth? and meant everything I said, no remorse coming out?

This is effortless, why you recording, forcing it out
?
The contortionist of lyrical masses, I want the clout

Or the respect that come with a reputation, man I wanted it all
But downfalls usually start off with a flaw
So now I'm all conscious with every move that I make
Keep ya eyes open for everybody, including snakes
Cause the fakest person you didn't know could be in ya face
Tryna make every single move that you made
But I'm two steps ahead of the fools that wanna hate

Too impeccable, this what I do with no mistakes
werd.

▶ DL Compilation: https://soulection.bandcamp.com/album/stussy-x-soulection-compilation

This compilation is inspired by our collaboration with one of the most culturally relevant and timeless brands, Stussy. 

We've taken dozens of tracks into consideration to curate the finest selection of progressive music from around the world to bring visibility to the future sound. Because there is so much talent out there, it was challenging to pull this compilation together to showcase a progression and cohesive flow that reflects both Stussy and Soulection cultures respectively. 

You will see familiar official Soulection artists on this compilation as well some new talent from forward-thinking and ambitious producers, emcees and vocalists that we're excited about and feel have a bright future.

Our partnership with the iconic brand includes a 'Soulection Tribe' limited t-shirt designed by Stussy as well as a physical in-store event and after party at our Sound Of Tomorrow Los Angeles monthly at The Echoplex on 9.5.14.

Special Thanks to all the artists: @zikomo @iamnoboodi @goldlink @orijanus @beatsbyesta @mr_carmack @samgellaitry @connor-pearson-1 @evilneedleprod @10A @takugotbeats @jayprincemusic @sangobeats @jdreidmusic @sivey @thisjaylouis @pyrmdplaza @mikos-da-gawd @jarreauvandal @starro @lelandaleemfakir @midnightabjo

Much love to Neek and the whole Stussy team for making this collaboration a reality.

These few months have been truly inspirational, with our movement gaining ground globally, forming new communities in different corners and interesting opportunities unfolding. It is to say the least, extremely gratifying to know that despite staying pretty much under the radar and not dabble heavily in that PR game, we can still evolve and touch others simply by sticking to our guns - that music should be diverse and expressed in various forms. 

To celebrate that diversity, we have put together a special compilation showcasing where our ideas are at right now. More importantly, it's a chance to introduce our entire roster, which has grown exponentially with the likes of Moods, Sh?m, KA-YU, Jasper Staal and Kerem Akdag. Its slightly unfortunate that Giorgio Oehlers is unable to make it for this compilation due to certain domestic commitments, but we feel what we have here strongly represents the ethos of DTW.

Also included in this comp are some up and comers whom we felt deserve a chance to be given the spotlight and share their sounds with a greater audience. Make a point to listen to Versailles the Everything - she's a really fresh singer / rapper out of Florida, US and has blown our ears and minds with everything that she's doing.

So we will leave it as that, and hope this collection inspires and moves you, as much as it does for us. For our regular listeners, it will occupy another essential spot in your DTW collection. For our new listeners, welcome to the DTW universe - it is only just expanding. :)
